Esophageal lyomyoma are rare benign tumors of the esophagus and they remain usually undiagnosed until local compression symptoms occur in the esophagus. Gastroscopy or esophageal ultrasonography (EUS) are usually the methods of choice for diagnosis. Moreover; surgery is the solution for this entity. In our case we present diagnosis of esophageal lyomyoma using convex probe endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) with a fine needle aspiration of 22G.
食管平滑肌瘤是食管罕见的良性肿瘤,通常在食管出现局部压迫症状之前一直未被诊断出来。胃镜检查或食管超声检查(EUS)通常是诊断的首选方法。此外,手术是治疗该疾病的方法。在我们的病例中,我们使用22G细针穿刺的凸阵探头支气管内超声(EBUS)诊断了食管平滑肌瘤。
